基于隐喻的老年实体交互产品设计策略研究

Design strategy of metaphor-based interactive product for elderly entities

实体交互(Tangible-User-Interface,简称TUI)被认为是数字技术适老化设计最有效的方式之一。而TUI十分强调用户与数字产品的感知关系,对老年人而言更是如此。隐喻是借由他物的认知概念来对新事物进行快速理解的认知方式,认知过程往往更形象,理解更快速。将隐喻作为设计方法融入TUI设计中,增强用户与数字产品间的交互感知,并深度分析相关研究案例,结合老年人群特征,提出老年TUI产品设计策略。

TUI considers physical interaction as one of the most effective ways for digital technology to adapt to aging design.TUI places great emphasis on the perceived relationship between users and digital products,especially for the elderly.Metaphor is a cognitive way to quickly understand new things through the cognitive concept of other things.The cognitive process is often more vivid and the understanding is faster.Metaphor as a design method was integrated into TUI design to enhance the interactive perception between users and digital products,and relevant research cases were deeply analyzed,combining the characteristics of the elderly population,and the design strategy of TUI products for the elderly was put forward.
